The Body Sect's Turn

"In that case, given the talents of so many disciples of the Body Sect, we can begin manufacturing Battle Armor one after another..." A smile that was hard to hide appeared in Lu Cheng's eyes.

The Body Sect's plan to dominate the continent can begin.

The Body Sect is currently overflowing with young powerhouses, especially the third-generation disciple, Long Aotian, and a group of disciples who recently traveled with Lu Cheng to the Sun Moon Empire to participate in the competition. After returning to the original continent, they have all broken through to the Soul Saint realm.

This means that the Body Sect can produce more than a dozen titled powerhouses out of thin air.

As for the Du Busi and the Battle Armor of many elders, they are slightly behind, because the forging technology of Battle Armor is not yet mature and still needs further refinement. It is unrealistic to directly forge the Limit Douluo, Four-Word Battle Armor level.

Seemingly aware that Lu Cheng had returned to the sect, Ma Xiaotao rushed into the laboratory, her phoenix eyes filled with joy when she saw someone.

"What's the situation on the mainland now?" Lu Cheng ignored the tall, fiery beauty who was quite unruly, and asked with a glance.

Ma Xiaotao rolled her eyes, casually sat down on the sofa, and crossed her long, shapely legs. "Didn't you ask Sister Lexuan? Didn't she tell you?"

"I came in a hurry and forgot to ask," Lu Cheng said casually.

"The Ming Dou Mountain Range are now nothing short of a meat grinder. The Star Luo Empire has taken Soul Tool from the Sun Moon Empire's armory, and has also replenished some of its old stockpiles, arming three elite Soul Engineer Legion. Apart from one guarding the Star Luo Empire capital, the rest have all been deployed to the battle. It is said that, as of now, more than half of them have been lost..."

"Only half of their personnel were lost?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow, wondering if he was underestimating the strength of the Sun Moon Empire. Even without the Linked Defensive Soul Tool, they shouldn't be in such a state.

"In addition, the Dou Ling Empire also sent an elite Soul Engineer Legion, and some elite Soul Master from the Clear Sky Sect. Almost half of the forces on the original continent have committed a certain amount of combat power. Those of us who are sitting still and watching the tigers fight are few and far between."

"Moreover, the major powers have also expressed their opinions, saying that we are standing by and watching someone die, and that we don't even understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold' (meaning that if one's life is lost, the other will be vulnerable). Even Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire has come to see you several times, but you were not there, and we turned you down each time," Ma Xiaotao shrugged.

"Hehe..." Lu Cheng chuckled. It was common knowledge that he had not returned to the original continent, but instead turned around and entered the Evil Demon Forest again.

Even Shrek Academy knows about it.

Therefore, this group of people are probably waiting for news from the Body Sect, or more accurately, for news from Lu Cheng.

The entire continent is now engulfed in war, and the front lines are in a state of chaos. It's estimated that even the Xu Jiujiu are about to run out of patience and are practically ready to devour themselves.

Lu Cheng smiled.

Now, the Body Sect is being put under the spotlight of public opinion and put to the test. Shrek Academy likely played a part in this, but indeed, aside from helping these people form several elite Soul Engineer Legion, the Body Sect hasn't done anything else in this battle.

If they can withstand the combined forces of the Sun Moon, then even if the Body Sect remains on the sidelines, no one will say much.

But now that they can't hold on any longer, the Body Sect is still pretending to be dead, which is really messed up.

Of course, given their power, they wouldn't dare openly criticize the Body Sect, but they certainly harbored some resentment in their hearts.

Where are the disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect?

Lu Cheng pondered for a moment before asking.

"You mean that beautiful woman?" Ma Xiaotao naturally turned her attention to Nan Shuishui, thinking that Lu Cheng saved the entire Earth Dragon Sect because of that mother and daughter.

Strangely, the reactions of those around him were unremarkable, all based on preconceived notions.

Lu Cheng's eye twitched, and he sighed helplessly.

"Nan Shuishui quickly returned to Dragon City with the members of the Earth Dragon Sect, but she left Nan Qiuqiu behind and asked me to tell you that since she has joined the Body Sect, she is now a disciple of the Body Sect, and you are in charge of her arrangements..."

Ma Xiaotao fidgeted with her fingers listlessly.

"Really kept?" Lu Cheng remained silent for a long time. That Nan Shuishui was really interesting; she was actually willing to leave the hostage at the Body Sect.

Don't be fooled by the positive reviews the Body Sect has of its own members; the outside world's opinion of the Body Sect... well, let's just say it's not great.

They were a well-organized and powerful gang of thugs. They weren't exactly infamous, but they were definitely not good people, especially compared to the majestic and illustrious reputation of the Shrek Academy.

"Wasn't this what you meant? I thought you'd taken a fancy to that mother and daughter." Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Wasn't that girl a hostage left behind?"

Lu Cheng's face darkened, and he looked at Ma Xiaotao with a dangerous expression.

"Cough cough cough..." The latter's body stiffened instantly, then he sat up straight, his narrow eyes darting around. "I was just saying it offhand."

"Ma Xiaotao, we're not fucking thugs. I'll say it again, we're not the kind of lawless thugs who rob people at will. If you dare to speculate about me again, I'll beat you to death." Lu Cheng glared fiercely at Ma Xiaotao with a dark face.

The latter immediately became obedient, as if suppressed by bloodline, and nodded.

Although she is now a Level 93 Titled Douluo, and with the Divine Fire Phoenix, she is even more capable of fighting against a Level 97 Super Douluo, she is still somewhat inexperienced in front of Lu Cheng.

On one side, Lang Ya's eyes are focused on his nose, and his nose on his heart.

Hold it in! Don't be so tight-lipped.

You have to hold it in, otherwise you might burst out laughing and that would be a disaster.

Fortunately, the young sect leader didn't look over there.

"I'll go check on Nan Qiuqiu in a bit." Lu Cheng pressed his finger against the beauty's fair forehead and tapped it. "You better behave yourself."

"She's with Xiao Ya, you can go check on her at the Tang Sect." Ma Xiaotao stared innocently at Lu Cheng with her beautiful, watery eyes, speaking quite obediently.

"Hmm." Lu Cheng nodded.

Lang Ya, standing to the side, clicked his tongue in amazement. Everyone in the Body Sect had experienced Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper; even the sect leader couldn't control her. Yet, in front of this young sect leader, she was obedient and docile, like a lamb.

And of course, there's also the Grandmaster, Zhang Lexuan.

"Has the Ming Dou Mountain Range given out?" Lu Cheng finally asked as he turned around.

"Probably." Ma Xiaotao shrugged.

"Xu Jiujiu just came last month, and his eyes were bloodshot. I feel that if he had come any later, the Sun Moon Allied Forces would probably have already breached the city. In any case, the Star Luo Empire's casualties would have been devastating."

"In that case, let's go and provide support," Lu Cheng said calmly.

He circled several points on the map inside the room. "Send powerful sect members to these locations to defend them. First, to prevent the Sun Moon Empire from landing on the coast, and second, to reinforce the defense line of the Ming Dou Mountain Range. Stop those guys for me."

"Let's also show the strength of my Body Sect."

Shrek Academy also sent out powerful figures: a Super Douluo and two ordinary Title Douluos. For Shrek, which had already suffered heavy losses, this was practically exposing their weaknesses.

Now, it's the turn of the Body Sect.
